In the basement of the two-story building, Lu Ming looked at the map and inserted some small flags on it.
Ma Quanyou's troops are gathering. Ma Quanyou has obviously studied some of the battles of the Montenegrin Corps and is afraid that they will be defeated if their forces are dispersed.
Its military supplies were mainly stored in Songshan Castle, but were dispersed into several arsenals, and intelligence personnel could not figure out what was real and what was fake. This was naturally due to the study of the Montenegrin Army's battle examples, and it was obvious that they were on guard against the Montenegrin Army's surprise attack on its arsenals.
Moreover, according to intelligence and signs of troop movements, its most elite First Cavalry Brigade is probably looking for an opportunity to detour from the upper reaches of the Xiaotang River into Heihuo County to launch a surprise attack. Its target must be its own supply center in Heihuo County.
Ma Quanyou was obviously very smart. He knew that his side had strong firepower, especially the helicopters and armored vehicles, but if there was no fuel, all these flying and running vehicles would naturally be paralyzed.
Moreover, we must have carried a large amount of this fuel because there was no supply locally.
In fact, the material center of Heihuo County is an illusion. The supplies and ammunition of the Black Sparrow Unit are all in Lijiaying. The main task of the Red Feather Guards and the Guard Company is to protect the safety of ammunition and materials.
In fact, in today's era, when two parties are at war, intelligence is often the most important thing. In the past, several battles and major transfers that created miracles despite a huge gap in strength were all due to accurate intelligence, while the other side was completely in the dark.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming picked up the phone and started dialing it. The temporary telephone lines between the command posts on the front line were naturally crank phones and micro portable manual switches that switched between three or two lines.
…
The mountainous area in the northwest of Songshan Road is full of mountains and lush green trees.
This place has been occupied by mountain bandits since ancient times. Now the remnants of Anben River who were defeated by Ma Quanyou have taken refuge here.
On this day, a group of people stood on a grassy slope in a valley. They were all wearing very neat green military uniforms, which were the uniforms of Anshan officers. The burly man in the lead had three silver stars on his shoulder straps, which was the rank of brigadier general of the Anshan Army, but it looked somewhat similar to the rank of three-star general of the Empire. Needless to say, there was an intentional element when the Anshan Army designed the military ranks. Of course, it was just a way of covering up the truth.
This brigadier general of the Anshan Army was none other than An Benhe, the cousin of An Benxi, the former commander of the Songshan Road Brigade. The two had a very good relationship, closer than brothers. After An Benxi was brutally killed by Ma Quanyou's troops and his head was hung on the city wall of Songshan City, An Benhe gathered the remnants, but was still defeated by Ma Quanyou and had to flee into Xiqi Mountain.
At this moment, he stood straight and looked at the distant sky. The weather was very good today, the sky was clear and blue, and he could see very far.
The group seemed to be waiting for something. An Benhe was neither anxious nor impatient, but some of his subordinates began to discuss in a low voice.
"Commander, the Montenegrins must be deceiving us, right? How could the person coming here be such a high-ranking official? Is he Marshal Lu's most trusted confidant?" The speaker was a fat, big-eared colonel with squinting eyes. His name was Li Enze.
An Benhe knew that among his current senior officers, there were quite a few who secretly hoped to negotiate terms of surrender with Sanyuan Ma, and Li Enze was a representative figure.
With a calm expression on his face, An Benhe said, "Let me tell you something. According to a secret message sent from the Black Mountain Army's Anshan Command, this Commissioner Zhang is not only the newly appointed Commissioner of the Anshan Pacification Office, but also that the Black Mountain Army has made preparations for a full-scale war with Northern Xinjiang and has established the Anshan Front Army Command to coordinate and command all the Black Mountain Field Army in Anshan and even Shengjing. Commissioner Zhang is the commander."
Li Enze shook his head, his face full of disbelief. "How big is the territory of Montenegro? Will they go to war with Qi Huaide? Wouldn't Qi Huaide kill them with just one spit? Moreover, even if the Montenegrins are extremely arrogant, would such an important figure come to appease us in person? We only have a few people and guns left."
Another colonel frowned, "Captain Li, if he wasn't an important person, would they have sent him here by plane? Plane? Have you ever seen one? Have you ever ridden one? It's hundreds of miles away, and I heard the fuel cost is so high!"
"How come I haven't seen it? Didn't they airdrop biscuits and rice flour to us the day before yesterday?" Li Enze raised his head, but after he finished speaking, he felt that such a rebuttal seemed to have a counterproductive effect.
As expected, the other party looked sarcastic and shook his head.
Li Enze immediately became furious, "Chen Laoliu, what do you mean?!"
Chen Hanlin smiled and said, "They airlifted food to us from hundreds of miles away just to amuse us. It's interesting, interesting..."
"Fuck you!" Li Enze's face flushed and he was about to move closer to Chen Hanlin.
"Okay, stop arguing! If someone sees us, we'll become a joke!" An Benhe shouted.
Several people fell silent, but An Benhe sighed softly in his heart. Will he really come? There are only two or three thousand people left on his side, and they are still fleeing. It sounds like Commissioner Zhang, who is almost the second most important person in Montenegro, will come to see him in person
"Commander, look!" The adjutant next to him pointed to the distant sky and hurriedly handed the telescope in his hand to An Benhe.
With the naked eye, a small black dot is moving in the distance, and seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
…
The "Hummingbird" helicopter is a large helicopter transport aircraft produced by Sanmai Company. Of course, the so-called large size is based on the standards of the current era.
"Hummingbird" was named by Lu Ming to commemorate the first helicopter born in his motherland in 1948. That helicopter was named "Hummingbird". Of course, although it is the first domestically-produced helicopter, the actual core technology is still made in other countries.
Lu Ming felt that it was the year 954 in this world and the technology was actually similar to that of the year 54 in his previous life, except that the technological points were quite different.
For example, today, the technology of fixed-wing propeller aircraft is not as mature as it was in the 1950s. The fighter jets and bombers secretly developed by Sanmai are still in their infancy, barely reaching the level of the 1930s. However, helicopter technology is developing rapidly due to its own deployment and current needs.
The Hummingbird transport aircraft is a helicopter with tandem twin rotors. The tail of the fuselage is upturned and equipped with a second rotor with three-blade propellers. The tail of the aircraft is equipped with double vertical tails to stabilize the flight attitude.
The range is about 600 km, the payload is about 2.5 tons, the crew can carry 2 people, and can reduce the number of 20 soldiers, including the soldiers' equipment.
Fill up the tank near Lijiaying and fly to Xiqishan, the straight-line distance is more than 300 kilometers, so it is barely possible to fly back and forth. And if you go back, you probably won't be able to fly to Lijiaying, and it is impossible to fly with an empty tank. The landing site will be contacted in advance, and the refueling team will be there to pick you up.
Lu Ming got off the helicopter and shook hands with An Benhe and others one by one, but he was thinking in his heart, Xiqi Mountain, the name of this mountain range is quite interesting.
"The horse bandits were brutal and their number was tens of thousands. Brigade Commander An led his troops to fight bravely. His loyalty and bravery are commendable!" Lu Ming said while patting An Benhe's hand when shaking hands with him.
This is clearly the tone of a superior praising his subordinate. It is natural for the two to have a clear role. An Benhe felt a little ashamed, "How dare a defeated general talk about courage..."
Lu Ming comforted him, "You can't say that. Those of you who can still persevere in such a dangerous situation, I believe that you will be able to achieve extraordinary success on the day of the counterattack!"
This is not completely misleading. The soldiers who are still able to fight under the Anben River Mark today have very good fighting will and faith. It's just that they come from the old military system, have no rules in combat, and have poor weapons and equipment. As long as they are reorganized and reformed, they can be reborn.
Anshan is poor, and the common people are willing to work hard just to have food to eat. The Anshan army is also known for its bravery and fearlessness, but they encountered the more brutal Ma Quanyou's army.
An Benhe and others felt very proud after hearing what Commissioner Zhang said, and their favorable impression of Commissioner Zhang increased greatly.
